Squeak when backing up

[Chris Gilmour]

I have a 2010 that runs like a dream, but when I'm backing out, I occasionally hear a slight squeak. It's sort of like a whirring, and it happens briefly. I've tried to find a specific spot it does it, and I've made sure the chain is lubed.

It does this with the engine off or on. Does this sound like a serious problem?

Hey man.. my does that every once in a while, too. I almonst pinpointed it to the front or back rotor?? I just try to clean it we'll if I go to the car wash. I have a 2010 bonnie s.e. My old yamaha used to do that and I would clean the rotors with 1000 grit sand paper (wet or dry) and then finish it with 2000 wet. just to kinda clean them, not to much though. I found a lil berr on the front rotor on the bonnie that would make it squeek also so; I did the same thing with the sand paper and it seem to help a lilttle. Hope this helps you. cheers mate.

Mine has always done that when pushing her backwards, and a little bit when pushing forwards. Definately coming from the front disc. No harm done.

If it bothers you then don't back up.

To the folks that tried to help, thanks! It's a relief to know it's nothing serious.
